TLDR: Impersonation has been a trick scammers have been using from the days of old. Crypto is another field where this trick is employed heavily. We’ve been seeing an uptick of Portalgaming phishing sites being replicated to trick the naive. E.g.: “enlisting-portalgaming.com”, “submit-portalgaming.app”, “launch-portalgaming.com”, “portalgamingx.com” etc.

Always do your own research! If it looks too good to be true, it probably isn't!
How these scams work:
These scams are usually short lived and started up prior to a project presale/going live.
Once you have visited and connected to the site, the scammers try to get you to confirm unlimited/large approvals, or have malicious signature requests or ask you to send funds to an address post which they will send you tokens.
Once the user has confirmed the signature/confirmed the approval or send funds to the address you will never see them again.
Do not fall prey to phishing links! Always do your own research before connecting to or committing to a project.
Cases
Case1: enlisting-portalgaming.com/submit-portalgaming.app/launch-portalgaming.com
These sites claim to be airdrop sites for $PORTAL.
They claim that you need to check your eligibility to proceed.
One site even claims that “A SIGNATURE MIGHT BE REQUIRED TO VERIFY WALLET OWNERSHIP.”
However once you connect, you find that the site is calling an Approve function.
The function allows them to transfer a huge amount of funds from your wallet.
If you confirm the transaction, you will find your wallet drained of funds.

Case 2: portalgamingx.com
The site sets itself up to seem to be the legitimate website.
They have a pre-sale contract address listed asking visitors to send ETH to an address and the system will automatically send tokens to their wallet.
They also have an airdrop section that requires the user to refer 3 more members to get rewards.
